Decatur and Stockton, at 1:35 o'clock
P. NJ. yesterday; aged twenty-five
years. Deceased had been q sufferer
from consumption for number OF
years, and it had long been evident that
his strength was fast failing, and that
be would soon be gathered to his
fathers. -,
In the fall Of 1885 he went to Florida
with the hope that the mild climate
would help to stay the strong hand OF
the malady which held such q grasp
upon his constitution. He there re-
mained until about May, 1886, when
he returned home greatly improved in
health, and his friends were buoyed
with the hope that he would be en-
tirely restored. AS the summer
wore on, however, his health grew
worse, and in October he had to take to
bed, since which time he has not been
ont of the house more than two or
three times. The best medical skill
was employed he was kindly and ten
derlv cared for, but all efforts to defeat
the effects OF disease already so deeply
rooted proved futile.
Not until Sunday did the members
OF the family realize that Mr.. Moore
was so near his end. He went to the
breakfast table that morning and
started to the dinner-table, but found
that his strength was not sufficient for
the exertion. It was then seen that his
death was but question of few hours,
and bis father and two brothers, Reu-
ben and Willie, who were engaged in
business from home, were telegraphed
for. All of them except the last-nam
arrived yesterday morning, and he
reached here in the afternoon.
Mr.. Moore bore his sufferings with
| Christian fortitude and without muir
mur. He was cheerful at all times
and never complained. He was
young man OF intellectual powers,
fine moral character, and devout
member Of the Methodist Church.
By his kindness Of heart, no.
bility of character, and affable, pleasant
disposition he had endeared himself to
all with whom he became acquainted
In their bereavement his parents and
brothers and sisters have the tender
sympathy of his and their numerous
friends.
The funeral will take place from the
Central Methodist church at 4 o'clock
this afternoon. Interment in Holly
| wood.
MAYORS COURT.
The Manchester Mayors Court had
much larger number of cases before it
Yesterday morning than is often the
case. Justice James NJ. Perdue pre-
sided in the absence of the Mayor, and
dispensed even-handed justice with that
fairness and righteous Judgment for
which he is so well known.
The most important ease was the
continued one of Pompei Lockett and
William Stokes, two young colored
men, charged with stealing q silver
watch of the value of $40 from Ca
boose- car on the Richmond and Peters
burg railroad. The evidence was con-
elusive, and they were sent on to the
grand jury.
Henry Roach was fined S15 and costs
for carrying concealed weapons.
Wester Shepperson, charged with as
saulting Nicholas Taylor, was required
to give bond for his good behavior for
twelve months.
The following cases were continued
until to-day and the parties bailed for
their appearance David Dangerfeld,
charged with assaulting Stepney Ander-
son Samuel Murray (colored), charged
with assaulting and beating his wife,
Rosa Murray Phoebus Eggleston, as
saulting Mrs. Eliza Roach.
MISSIONARY MEETING IN THE CHURCHES.

sionary Society of the Clopton-Street
Baptist church was held Sunday after

and Mr.. William Pollard acted as secre-
tary. Little Misses Alice Callenberger,
Cappie Clements, Pearl Evans, Rose
C9llenberger, and Neva Evans partici-
pated in o dialogue, entitled "Have
You Heard of Jesus ?" The address of
the occasion was delivered by Judge b.

! his cornet.
PERSONALS AND BRIEFS.
The Central Methodist church was il
Illuminated Sunday night for the first
time with incandescent electric lights.
There are four 65-candle-power lights,
two over each aisle, and the entire edi-
fee is made brilliant with beautiful,
soft, white light. The incandescent
lights in the stores will be burning in
l few nights.
Rev. r. 7. Hanks, OF Dallas, Tex,
preached at the Bainbridge-Street Bap-
tist church Sunday morning. There
was a very large congregation present,
and the sermon was one of great power.
Mr.. Hanks has preached at this church
on former occasions, and has q tender
place in the hearts of the people. Mr..
Hanks, while in the city, was the guest
Of DR.. Thomas p. Mathews.
Rev. William H. Christian, of the
| Central Methodist church, who has
| Just returned from resting spell of a
few weeks, occupied his pulpit Sunday
morning and night, and on both occa-
sions delivered fine discourses to large
congregations. At night there was
scarcely a vacant seat. This is now
the prettiest church in town, and with
Mr.. Christian as its pastor it Ii one of
the most popular apd largely-attended
ones in the city.
Rev. George II. Wiley is doing a
good work at the Fith-otreet Metho-
dist church. He is FL earnest wsrker,
and is the right mat in the right place.
He needs much larger church, and it
is to be hoped that he will soon be sue
cessful in raising the money to have
the present one enlarged. For months
past on Sunday nights people have
been turned away.
Mr.. Augustus Ellis. of this city, who
ON Saturday had one of his fingers so
badly mashed by being caught in the
machinery where he works in Rich
mond that DR. Ingram had to amputate
it, was doing well yesterday.
Rev. John j. Clopton, having re-
turned from Petersburg and Nottoway,
preached at the Meade Memorial
church (of which he is pastor) Sunday
morning and night.
Rev. MIR. Bigelow, Of Richmond,
preached at the Presbyterian church
